[A & Dakota] Hocus Focused

@dakotaxmp

It was that time of the year again. Fake cobwebs, spiders, bats, and ghosts were everywhere his eyes laid on unless he was at Noona or his place that has yet to be invaded by Halloween decorations. He wasn't particularly against halloween, it just... seems like a mess for him to have decorations up unless it was Christmas.

Yet, there was a ball coming up, and just like last year, he was going to dress up. Last year, he had dressed up as Tuxedo Mask to match with a Princess Serenity. Though, this year, he thought that maybe matching with his beau would be something nice.

So, while he was watching Dakota cook in his kitchen, he slowly came up to him, wrapping his arms around his waist as he pressed a soft kiss on his neck. There was a grin on his lips as soon as he pulled back.

"Hey, love? I wanted to ask you something."

    “Alex,” it’s so so quiet and his heart is in his ears, but he has to know. He tilts his head back to see the other. “Will you marry me?”

As soon as those words left his lips, a tear fell from his eye. It ran down his cheek, and he felt it as if it was in slow motion as he nuzzled against Dakota's neck. He shook as a quiet sob escaped his lips, breath shaking.

The silence, yet again, consumed the air and he felt like he couldn’t breathe as more tears flowed from his eyes unconsciously. His arms, tightening around the younger as unwanted thoughts flooded his mind. As if peace was so far from the mess that’s his brain right now.

At first, he wanted him to himself. Wanted Dakota to look at him the way he looked at his father. The jealousy was too much as soon as he figured out his feelings blossoming for the other just by being around him. Hell, where his jealousy came from was a mystery, but it was strong that he became greedy. He wanted more and more of Dakota. Not just his attention, his mind. He wanted his heart to be his and only.

At least, that’s all he thought at first.

What he didn’t get ready for was the love that came out of all the limited interactions he had found himself being carried away in. The eyes that looked like the constellations were put in them. Those lips that smiled that boxy smile he had grown so fond of. His hand he found out that fit his well and felt so right in his.

Being in love wasn’t part of what he knew.

Yet, it’s all he knows now.

His heart was ready to burst out of his chest when the question from Dakota comes.

“Alex, will you marry me?”

Three. Two. One.

“You just can’t wait for me to ask, will you?”, he sobs into the other’s shoulder, soft, yet harsh whines coming from his already tired throat from crying.

Alexios moves away briefly to reach into the nightstand’s drawer, fishing out the necklace he’d removed that night to hide the ring from Dakota. Now, in full view in between them, was a ring he had custom-made because no other ring felt right whenever he was searching for the rings for the both of them.

He wipes the tears from his already red eyes as he shifted on the bed.

“I wanted to ask you, but you beat me to it. Fuck,” he cursed under his breath as he pulled the rings out of the chain.

“Will you, Dakota Kim, take me, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part?”

“Babe,” he says softly. “I’m real. I want you and I want this.” The deepness of his voice shifts, is at the shell of Alexios’ ear as he tilts his head up and keeps himself flush to the other. “I want to love you for the way you are. All of the way you are.”

And then there’s the rumble of his laughter as he murmurs, “Morning breath and all.”

As much as he wanted this, loves all of Dakota, the fear in him didn’t leave. Not even after he reassured him about everything being real. It’s not the fact that he didn’t trust Dakota. No, not that at all.

It’s his powers that he doesn’t trust. He’s so unsure of how much it has affected Dakota, especially after his extended exposure to him. He’s had one-night stands, but this was different. Completely different from it all.

At first, he was acting out of the liking his father’s best friend, his jealousy, and possibly (definitely) lust. Though, he knew there was so much more to it than just that. He knew he was in deeper than just like when he acted. Knew that he had slowly, slowly fell for the other demigod the more he had been around him.

Dakota was the sun and he was Icarus. Attracted to him like he was a magnet, and touched him as much as he could. He hoped it would be enough to get him and to reciprocate his feelings, but now, he wanted this to be real and not just from his greed. 

Alexios wants this to not just be because he was the son of Eros. He wanted Dakota to love him for who he is and not just because his dumb ass made sure he touched him as much as he could in the most innocent and sinful ways.

A forced smile fell on his lips and he closed his eyes to hide the panic and fear in them as he nuzzles against his neck, a soft, yet shaky breath leaving his lips. He presses a chaste kiss upon his skin. “I love you, Dakota. Wanna keep you in my arms for as long as I can. Wanna cherish you, give you everything. Fuck, I wanna give you the world if I could,” he ends with a soft whine as his arms wrapped around the other demigod just a bit tighter.

“I just wanna be with you for the rest of my life.”

“Dakota?”, he starts. Maybe he should ask him out properly, huh?

“Will you, Dakota Kim, be my boyfriend?”

Now, he’s definitely terrified.

//

  ‘Will you, Dakota Kim, be my boyfriend?’

   Dakota’s eyes are wide then, the meaning and full implications of the question clear to him now as he looks at Alexios. He wants this- hell he is the one that asked. But he was so sure that he was just a toy to the other that he expected the ‘I like you but..’. His body was ready and braced for it so much so that when the emotionally impact doesn’t come his shoulders still jump slightly. He wants to…

  His eyes look at the man next to him, drift to see all of him. This could be his everyday if he says yes. He could be happy and for once not wonder if someone will up and disappear just like everyone else had on him. His gaze is on those hands and those arms; they could anchor him. Blushing hotly Dakota brings his eyes back up to look at the other, but they land on those lips as he thinks. What if I make him go away again?

  Timidly, he brings his own hands up, one resting a hand on Alexios’ chest and the other slipping into his hair at the base of his neck, fingers playing there as he scoots closer. Along his skin are goosebumps, more nerves than cold, as he breathes in. Can he let him in? Can he show him all the parts of him that aren’t that great? Can he be safe with him? The comfort of Alexios’ hand on his skin makes him a little more brave as he exhales and then speaks.

  “Sí,” his voice is soft in their nearness. As gentle as the look that falls to those perfect lips- lips that he can kiss every day if he just surrenders. “Solo llámame tuyo y bésame otra vez.”

[mpxalexios]

The silence after the question was killing him. Hell, it felt like he was being tortured, but he didn’t want to force an answer out of him. He’d never make him do anything he didn’t want to do. 

When he felt his hands on him, he closed his eyes and let out a soft, shaky breath. He knew just how much he wanted this that he was almost shaking as his hands cover Dakota’s over his chest, clutching on it gently as if it was the most fragile thing in the world. His eyes only opened when he heard the answer.

“Sí. Solo llámame tuyo y bésame otra vez.” 

A smile so wide that it hurt his cheeks was already on his lips as soon as he heard the ‘yes’. That was enough. Enough for the happiness to surge through his body, but relaxing him instead of making him even more jumpy. He let out yet another breath before he pulls the other demigod flush against his body, lips immediately finding his in a kiss full of desire, love, happiness, and much more.

“Mine,” he whispered softly in between the kiss as his hand rubbed gently over the other demigod’s lower back. 

As soon as he pulls back, he leans his forehead against Dakota’s, smiling softly. “Please tell me I’m not dreaming. Tell me all this is real,” he says, almost with desperation in his voice.

‘Don’t say anything..’ Oh fuck.

‘Just hear me out..’ Here it comes.

He is so sure of rejection that he stiffens visibly, the apples of his cheeks paling just a little. Let me down gently babe, he begs silently.

But …

.. he’s wrong.

As he listens to Alexios talk a funny warmth breaks in his chest.

‘… in love with you.’ Oh….

He blinks at this revelation. He might be in.. love..

‘I am in love with you.’

It’s Alexios’ words that hang in the air now. They ring out in the calm silence before Dakota fully registers them.

“Oh holy shit.”

To say that he was nervous was an understatement. He was terrified of whatever would happen after that rambling that he called a confession after he hit his head on his headboard.

Alexios’ arm was still wound around the younger demigod’s frame when he stops speaking, but his arms had slowly stiffened the longer he talked due to his nervousness.

The silence was loud. Too loud for Alexios that the thoughts that scared him the most started popping up in his head one by one. Was this attraction real? How much of it is real? How much of this was because of his powers that he couldn’t control? How much--

“Oh holy shit.” 

That was enough to pull him out of his train of thought. He blinks once, twice before he swallows audibly. Not quite sure how to respond to his response.

“Dakota?”, he starts. Maybe he should ask him out properly, huh?

“Will you, Dakota Kim, be my boyfriend?”

Now, he’s definitely terrified.

[mpxalexios]

[SOLO] εφιάλτης

Nightmare.

It was just a nightmare.

He woke up sweaty, screaming as he tried to catch his breath, and eyes darting from wall to wall as tears roll down his cheeks. He doesn’t usually get nightmares, but when he does, it was usually quite bad. 

They felt so real, leaving him an anxious mess, his bed soaked in sweat that forced him to leave its (fake) comfort to go to his kitchen for a much needed glass of water. He woke up dehydrated, throat raw from screaming, and probably from crying in his sleep.

Dreams weren’t rare, but his nightmares almost always scare the shit out of him. They weren’t of monsters or ghosts. Nothing of the sort of crappy horror movies. His nightmares resemble more so his own both rational and irrational fears. 

This time, it was getting caught. Being dragged to the police stations and the courts for multiple counts of murder and homicides.

What scared him the most was who pointed him out after he had told the other about his secret. One he wanted to keep in a small circle and down to their graves. Then, the next was how he reacted to finding out who had ratted him out.

Alexios knew it was just a nightmare, but he couldn’t shake the fact that it could happen. There was no telling. Not from his perspective.

After drinking a couple glasses of water, he laid on the couch, putting his arm over his eyes as he finally caught up with his breath.

“Don’t tell. Keep it to yourself. You’ll be fine.”

[A & Eros] Paradise Lost

@mperosx

Continued from here

Talking to his father about his best friend being his lover was something that took time for him, especially after the initial reaction that the god had when he had found out about the two.

Alexios watched as his father neatly packed up the things that he had told him he was going to donate to different places outside of the island, and he offered to help him to spend some time with him, though the conversation ended up being about the demigod whom had stolen his heart.

When Eros stood up from where he was sitting, Alexios stilled his movements, nodding quietly when he was asked to follow him. He did so with such a manner that even he couldn’t hear his own footsteps. What was he being careful of all of a sudden?

Watching his father’s movements made him somewhat more wary of what he was about to tell him, ask him. Was he opposed to him being with Dakota?

So many questions wrapped around his head until he heard his father’s voice again. 

“Alexios, how well do you know your lover?”

The answer was he doesn’t know much about him.

Yet he opens his mouth to say something, only to close it again. Alexios doesn’t know how or when feelings bloomed for the other demigod. At first, it was sexual attraction, but the more he had been around him, the more he saw something... beautiful in him. Something he can’t quite point out.

Alexios knew he had been somewhat jealous of his father due to the way Dakota looked at him, or how much the demigod hung around him. He wants Dakota to look at him the way he looks at Eros. He wants to be the reason the demigod smiles and laughs. He wants to be there for him when he’s down so he can lift him back up.

Most of all, he wants to love him and be loved back by him.

“I... don’t.”, he says quietly, a pang of innocent jealousy hitting him again out of the fact that his father knew his lover more than anyone else in the island. Jealousy that wasn’t spiteful. It was more so 

Alexios wants to be the one to know him the best. Wants to know everything about Dakota.

“But... I’m willing to wait until he’s ready to let me in.”

“Hey..Alex? Can I ask you a personal question?” he starts and then fully looks toward the other.

 He props up a little, resting his head on his own arm as he bends it to support himself. “Are…we…?” No, that’s not right. “I was just like curious…” Nah, that ain’t it either. The plush of his lower lip is caught by his teeth for a second before he releases it and gives up trying to find a better way to ask what’s been on his mind.

 “We dating?”

Alexios wasn't dumb. Okay, maybe he had... a long dumb moment before he had managed to talk to Dakota once again. Now, they seem to be back where all of this started. His own bedroom, on his own bed.

The stares were burning through his skin and he can feel it, andd only when he turns away that he peeks an eye open to look at what the other demigod was up to. Though, he knew what those stares hold. Questions. They always hold questions, and ones Alexios was probably scared of asking him, too.

Watching the other playing with the beads of the rosary around his neck was almost mesmerizing. Like, he could be lost in time just watching him do that for hours and he would not complain about it. Then, there was the pink tint on his cheeks all of a sudden. One of his eyebrows raised out of curiosity. His head tilts towards him slightly when he felt the taps on his bare chest.

Alright, maybe he really is dumb because as soon as Dakota turned towards him he put his head back down, only to hit the cushion, that wasn't that soft, on his headboard with his head, making him wince slightly.

He clears his throat to try and hide the fact that he had been watching him this whole time, his free hand rubbing at the sore spot on his head. "Yeah, yeah. Of course, love," he responds almost too immediately, the name rolling off his tongue way too comfortably. Was it too soon?

When the other demigod propped himself up, Alexios made the effort to turn his whole body towards him, wrapping an arm around his waist. Was this okay? He waited for the question, rubbing on his lower back gently, hoping that it would help him relax and maybe urge the question to come out.

"We dating?"

Of course, it was then that that specific question comes up. The dating one. The one he's been so scared to ask Dakota since the start, hence him ignoring just about everyone in his life for a good few weeks.

Here it comes.

"Dakota... Don't say anything, and let me talk first. Just-- Just hear me out, alright? I know... I know I fucked up, and maybe I should've done this properly instead of... you know, but I do want... to date you. I know dad, Eros... God, he would never let me live this down. I know he's so, so worried about us, but I want to do this. I hope you do, too. Because Dakota," he takes a deep breath before he continues.

"I might be...in love with you-- No, scratch that. I know I am in love with you."

[mpxalexios]

​❝ You wanna tell me what the hell is going on, then? ❞

Okay, maybe that was a really terrible idea considering Mia was the daughter of Zeus, but who was he to not indulge in some fun.

Fine, trying to get Nahyun and Nate to go on a date was a terrible idea.

❝ You wanna tell me what the hell is going on, then? ❞ 

Alexios grinned nervously at his grandaunt (okay, maybe he needs to stop calling her that, too) before he tried to slip away from her.

“H-Haha… I-I gotta go! Noona needs me!”

[weirdosland]

[mpxalexios]

“Summer’s almost over, but that doesn’t mean I can’t look hot anymore. You enjoying the view?”

- Alexios, probably

[mpxalexios]

​❝ Love your perfume. What is that? The stench of death? ❞

The banter never really stopped between Nahyun and Alexios even after the talk that they had. It was something that they just... do. Especially with seeing each other almost everyday at work as he was quite hands-on with Noona.

​❝ Love your perfume. What is that? The stench of death? ❞

Alexios actually laughed at that one and shook his head. “Okay, maybe I’m wearing a different perfume today. How’d you know?”, he grinned as he crossed his arms over his chest, the grin slowly morphing into a smirk.

“Have you been purposely walking past me just to take a whiff of my perfume, Nahyun?”

[jaexmp]

Warm-up Game

@mpxalexios continued from [here]

~*

Oof. He watches as his champion takes a little too much damage, leaving him to play in colorblind mode… again. It was no secret to anyone that Jae was not particularly gifted at this game. It was clunky and slow, the action never happening until twenty minutes of your life had wasted away. Still, content was content.

“Here is a novel idea; watch my videos and find out!” A sour tone laced his voice. Jae just couldn’t understand why Alexios wouldn’t watch his visual masterpieces he released every other week. “It was Delta Dads, ya know, Shiphy and QT? I got some collab offer with them not too long ago.”

Unwillingly, Jae commanded his champion to return back down the middle lane to fight that dreaded, demonic fluffball. How could something so cute be so annoying? Not even a minute later, his screen shifted to gray. “I will never understand the appeal to this game.”

[mpxalexios]

“Or you can just let me know who,” he says as he moves his champion to avoid a skill shot that could potentially be his doom. He checks the map and see Jae’s champion’s health chunked down by quite a lot while the opponent... was completely unharmed.

“Okay, you should back--”, he says before bringing his attention back to his own lane. Only then does it click to him that he said it was ex-Delta Fox players who coached him. Well, that’s something.

Alexios does watch those two during his free time when he’s not busy at all. “You mean Imaqtpie and Shiphtur?”, he asked, to confirm, though he really doesn’t need confirmation about that.

He held back a laugh as he sees the death announcement of their mid laner, Jae, and he looks over to Jae after he bought items and walked back to lane. “It’s fun. You’re just too hyped up all the time. Besides, that little devil is annoying to deal with.”, he says, flashbacks of dying to mushrooms littered around the jungle flashing in his mind.

“Shouldn’t you be good by now if Shiphtur taught you midlane?”

[mpxalexios]

[ A & Jiyeon] La Mia Sorellina

[mpxalexios]

mpjiyeon:

At work, Jiyeon pretended everything was fine. She wasn’t good at deceiving people, and it had been obvious that she was more pouty than usual, but with the distractions of talking to customers and reshelving she managed to keep her mind off of her broken heart.

When she was alone, it was different. There were less distractions, and so her alone time was usually spent on the couch with Puffy, eating ice cream and watching movies and wallowing in a mix of self-pity and self-loathing.

Jiyeon heard the second knock and pressed pause, slowly standing up. She wasn’t expecting anyone, what if it was– no, it couldn’t be Dean, he left, he wasn’t going to come back, but her heart fluttered with hope. Still holding the tub of ice cream, she shuffled towards the door in her fluffy pajamas.

Despite herself, her face fell a little when she opened the door and saw Alexios. She knew she shouldn’t hope for Dean, but…

“Oppa,” she said quietly, a small smile coming to her lips. “What are you doing here? I was… watching a movie…” She hugged the tub closer to her chest.

Once the door opened, he looked at the disheveled girl, hugging a tub of ice cream to her chest. Jiyeon really looked like a kid other than the fact that her eyes screamed broken-hearted.

“Get ready. We’re going out, Jiji.”, he says without even asking if she wants to. He was going to drag her out anyways, whether she liked it or not, because he doesn’t like seeing her so... depressed all the time.

Alexios pushed her back in the apartment and then towards her bedroom. “Come on, don’t make me drag you out in your house clothes,” he says with a lightness in his voice. 

“We’re gonna get you some pretty stuff, yeah?”

[mpxnuwa]

moving forward

[mpxalexios]

mpxnuwa:

Nuwa wasn’t very used to phones yet, but she knew how to work with one. She enjoyed it when her mortal children taught her about the latest technology, even if it tended to confuse her at times. And no one could say it wasn’t practical that she could check on her children whenever she wanted, especially the ones that tended to get themselves in trouble, like Alexios.

But– wait, what did he say? “A ring?” Could it be? Was her son planning to marry?

She was quiet for a few moments. “Is it for Dakota?” she asked, then couldn’t help a soft laugh. “Dearest, I’m so proud of you. I was worried when you two hit that rough patch; you both came to me and cried…” A fond, motherly smile spread on her lips, even though he couldn’t see it. “Let me know what ring you choose.”

The selection of rings in front of him gave him no options. None of them were special enough for someone so... special. None of them stood out to Alexios, so he gave the person behind the showcases his gratitude for showing him around before he moved on for another store.

“Who else could it be for, mom? Of course, it’s for Dakota!”, he says, a smile evident in his voice as he walked into another store.

As he scanned through a showcases, he thought of the rough patch that Nuwa had mentioned, and yeah, that... was quite worrisome. He knew it was his fault for not communicating with the other demigod, and that he is taking all the blame for it. 

“I don’t... I don’t know if we’re ready for marriage... yet.”, he says, trying to be as honest as he can to himself. “We’re still in the process of rebuilding-- well, building up our relationship, mom.”, he says before moving the phone away from his face to ask to look at the simple, yet elegant bands that caught his eye after just about four stores. 

“I’m getting us promise rings for now. The engagement one... will come after we’re more... stable.”

[mpjiyeon-blog]

[mpxalexios]

mpjiyeon:

Jiyeon accepted Alexios’ arms without even a moment of hesitation, let herself be pulled against his chest and buried her face in it, tried to take a deep breath but failed because she still couldn’t stop crying.

Was it this hopeless? Was it going to feel like this forever?

She wished she could’ve greeted Alexios, whom she considered her brother, with her usual smile and cheerful attitude. But even though everyone always said it gets easier, it never did. Jiyeon didn’t want to be like this, she didn’t want her life to be like this, but what could she do? She couldn’t hide her feelings; she had never been able to do that.

“Don’t kill him,” she whispered quietly once the sobbing had stopped. Even now, she was still defending the man she loved. She used to love. Did she still love him? “H-how can I… w-when will this stop?”

Alexios had been careful about keeping himself from touching the girl’s bareskin due to his powers, and especially now that he’s dealing with her when she’s heartbroken. She doesn’t need another heartbreak when all he saw in her was a little sister and the fact that his heart already belonged to someone else.

“It’ll be fine. It’s gonna hurt for a while, but it will be better, I promise you that.”, he says as he rubbed her back gently, letting her cry as it sure did help him when he was in a dark place.

“I know it feels like hell right now, but I know you can do it. You’ll get through this. You have me and your friends with you, you don’t have to go through this alone. Okay, Jiji?”
